Today, the Australian Passivhaus Association formally announces the appointment of 5 new board members, marking the beginning of a new era as the organisation sets its sights on a stronger national reach and new sectors for the standard’s adoption. Australian Passivhaus Association CEO, Alexia Lidas said that new leaders with a National outlook were sought for the board to support the Association’s strategic goals of increasing its impact by expanding across the Nation and further into the owner-operator market.

APHA Members and Passivhaus experts Talina Edwards Architecture and Envirotecture have announced that they are uniting their teams to be stronger together. They believe that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts, and the synergy created by this partnership will lead to greater impact and better outcomes. They will keep the name ‘Envirotecture’ because this embodies what they are passionate about creating: architecture that honours and respects the natural environment.

These have a long way to go.
